William Cow1es took Miss Wiseman to
church in Hith township, near Corydon,
Indiana During the sermon he put his arm
about the young lady and the deacons saw
him. The deacons, going before the honora-
BILE court of common pleas at Corydon, the
seat of Harrison county, have brought suit
against William Cowles for hugging his girl
in meeting. Upon a call of the docket it
was discovered that the farmers were in the
midst of harvest, and that the State would
suffer more if the sheaves were not garnered
than it would if William should continue to
hug his girl. The honorable court, there
fore, postponed this action at law until such
time as twelve jurors could be summoned
who could properly attend to it.
A new scheme which bids fair to be useful
and popular has just been started at New
port. It is an industrial school for girls.
The object of the school is to train girls to
become good housewives and good domestics
and to enable them to earn their living in
other ways of skilled work. The plan is to
have several departments, say nursery, pri-
mary school for nursery work (objeot lessons),
cooking, laundry work and sewing, and for
this purpose the ladies who have organized
the school have hired the Townsend home
stead at Newport for ten years at $500 a
year. The necessary repairs will cost them
about s., 900, the amount to be credited as
rent. The running expenses cannot be less
than $2,oo0 year, as competent teachers

The wine dealers of California are, it is
said, preparing to evade the pure wine law.
The growers, who to man favor the law,
say that one conspicuous loophole has been
left. While the act prescribes the penalty
for selling questionable wines under the
stamp, or a California label, it does not pro-
vide for cases when the adulterated Califor-
MIA article is sold under a French label.
Crooked dealers can take advantage of this
fact and discourage the sale of native wines
true to label by placing the best in the State
under the French brands and marking the
poorest, though pure, with the stamps. In
this way wine which is guaranteed of Cali
fornia vintage will fall into disfayor, and the
adulterators can manipulate as much as they
please.

PARAMOUNT COLLEGE NOTES.

Work on the foundation of Paramount
College is progressing rapidly. The walls
| have reached the surface The basement
viii be completed by the first of July next.
The board of trustees of the college will
meet on the first day of next month in the
city for the purpose of selecting president.
1t is desired that a full attendance be at
hand Other important business will come
before the board. In fact it is being looked
upon as one of the most important that will
be held for some time. The selection of a
president itself is a question that seems to
puzzle some of the members They look
upon that position believing that the success
or failure of the institution is largely de-
pendent upon it. A failure to select the
proper man might give theenterprise black
eye that would last for sometime.
1t is not probable that any other members
of the faculty will be selected at that meet
ing. The services Of the president will be
solicited on that question.
As to the president some members of the
board seem TO favor the selection OF lady
and others favor the selection of a gentle
man.

THE GAS QUESTION,

Major Knapp, of FIT. Scott, left the city
yesterday morning on return trip. He is
thoroughly of the opinion that natural gas
can be found in paying quantities near the
metropolis. The formation SO far is such
| that leads him to express that opinion. 1t
was thought probible that he expressed that
opinion more emphatically otter the city
council gave his company the exclusive
"is s. " " supply the city with natural gas.
The major in conversation Monday evening
expressed himself as expecting some good
results within the next two or three hundred
feet. The company finished casing Monday
night and are now boring. If no bad luck
comes the well Will soon be known.
Quite a number were heard yesterday
handling editorially the matter of the coun-
Gil giving the Wichita Mining 6 Investment
company the exclusive right to supply the
city with natural gas. There Yves about as
many opinions expressed as to the proper
method Of handling the questions as there
were men heard to express themselves.
Many thought the council should not have
passed the ordinance, others thought that it
amounted to nothing anyhow thinking it
Illegal Some argued that the move had a
tendency to stop investigating the natural
gas question, claiming that other companies
are being formed for commencing prospect
ing and they had, if the ordinance was legal,
been summarily squelched.
The plea for other companies in the minds
of some was very weak, saying that
those so-called companies had been given the
same time as the one now at work, and they
had not as yet done anything toward COM
mencing work. They had simply had sub
rosa organization and had tried TO keep the
thing quiet with the expectation of going to
work, provided the present company was
successful They were simply laying back
waiting results, hoping to gain something
from the money of Others. Those holding
the above opinion seemed to think that the
SO called companies would never have organ
lied had it not been for the work of the
present company. They also claimed that
they were organized by some parties dis
gruntlei at the working company because
they did not gain admittance. They seemed |
to think that the company first showing its
work is the company that should be encour-
aged.
1t was the opinion of some that the city |
had the power TO regulate prices and the |
company having the franchises could thus be |
restrained from charging exhorbitant prices |

IMPORTANT TEST.

To the Editor Of the Eagle,
May "a, 1887.
Mr.. j. G. Mcfarland of Wichita, and Hon
Mr.. Pope Of South Bend, Ind, will have on
exhibition a set of trucks under a street car
on Main street and Douglas avenue, on Fri
day and Saturday next. Encouraged by the
enterprising men of Wichita. The object of
the exhibition is to show the business men of
the city something new and of great advant-
age to street car companies, if the test is
satisfactory, it is expected there will be es-
tablished a mandatory here for building
the patent truck, and also the cars in short
time. 1t is claimed the cars will run or
short curve as easy as the ordinary car will
run on a straight track.
If this should prove true it will prove
bigger boom for Wichita than anything that
has been introduced here yet. The factory
will employ large number of men the year
round Here is chance for our public
spirited men to do something that will prove
a financial benefit to themselves and to the
city at large. The inventors name is Mr.
Ort Cook OF this city, and the test Will be
watched with great interest. The great
trouble, the great wear and tear Of street
railway car is owing to the short curves, as
everybody knows.

THE CONsIsToRY.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
sublime princes of the royal secrect or 80 Q
Masons was held at the Masonic hall for the
organization of the bodies of A. A. Scottish
Rite Masonry.
There are goodly number of resident
members of the consistory: but several are
away from the city at the present time or
were unavoidably detained, as was the case
with Fl. c. eager and A. A. Phelps, and
since it requires nine members to obtain a
charter for the consistory, two S. H. Horner
ard s. I. Tuttle came up from Caldwell.
The grand lodge of perfection, the first in
the order of Scottish Missionary,
was organized and instructed through Eras-
tus T. Carr, of Leavenworth, inspector gen.
eral of Kansas; and was STYLED Elmo Grand
Lodge of Perfection.
The following were the charter members,
all Of whom are $50 Masons: Robert n.
Smith, Rev. j. L. Boyd, Oliver P. Hood, j.
s. Cole, Chas Balance, Dr. j. W. Shuts,
J. Giles Smith, of Wichita: and S. 81. Hor-
ner and S. T. futile, of Caldwell. Of these
the officers were j. S. Cole, venerable mas
ter; Rev. j. L. Boyd, senior warden DR..
J. w. Shuts, Junior warden; Oliver P.
Hood, secretary; Robert H. Smith, treasu-
rer; Chas. Balance, almoner; S. T. futile,
grand orator; J. Giles Smith, master Of GER
emonies. These officers were elected not
only for the Grand Lodge of Per-
lection but for the higher orders.
The members will receive further instruc-
ton in the Perfection, Rose Croix Chapter,
Council and other degrees up to the SD here
in the city from the Inspector general and
will not be required to 60 to Leavenworth
which before had the only consistory in the
state. They will likewise initiate in these
mysteries Masons of places surrounding
Wichita.
1t is not yet definitely known
where will be in future the
meeting place of the consistory, but
it is supposed they will occupy
the present hall in the Masonic building.
There Is some talk, however,
of this building being disposed
of, and a new one erected, wherein will be
a hall for the meeting of Scottish as well as
Y ork masons.
Many gentlemen in the city here, Masons,
and those who have reached the Comman-
dairy degree, have shown an inclination to
increase their knowledge of Masonry by tax
ing the Scottish degree, and thus the Consis-
tory it appears will no doubt grow and be-
come a power among secret societies of
